a girl is sitting on a bed with a sign that says all that goldeners Alt: A girl sitting on a bed crawls toward camera then pulls her arm back to deliver a solid smack.

There are times when I'm glad to know that I will never meet people like that, but then there are times when I WANT to meet them...
just to give them a good solid smack, hoping it will act like a defibrillator, and restart their brain.

It's hard to wrap my head around the idea that there are people out there, walking free, who consider YouTube (and by extention Google) to be "woke". Just how far right do your beliefs have to be to think that? Even Nazis would gasp and clutch their pearls in shock. The mind boogles.

What's even more sad are those who think it's about the oranges, ignoring (ha ha, I'm being charitable. That would suggest awareness) that it's just a symptom.

I 'like it' when people who never lived a day in Hungary are declaring:
"It wasn't an autocratic, fascist regime. If it were, you would be already in jail, and Orban wouldn't stepped down. ... etc."

My message for these people:

Coachella’s Parent Company Funds Anti-LGBTQ Republicans The Anschutz Corporation has donated more than $850K to Republican groups backing candidates behind anti-LGBTQ laws.

Coachella may spotlight LGBTQ artists, but its parent company has funneled more than $850K to Republican groups backing anti-LGBTQ candidates.

Using an AI image AND the term "daddy"? Scraping the bottom of the barrel here, ain't ya?

Whoa. I don't think I ever saw this ep.

It's become trendy to attack NPR for anything. Fake outrage. I think they get bonus points for making the attacks as shallow and ignorant as possible. They don't even pretend to engage, they just troll and move on.

Oh just shut the fuck up. Billy Graham was both a massive misogynist and homophobe.

I first I thought, "okay, cool, they're carrying a plastic storage tote. That makes more sense than a... oh." Then I saw it was, again, a stretcher. Bloody hell.

4. Performative low brow humor gracelessly inserted only for the sake of views.
If something happens on screen that causes a joke to pop into your head, and you vocalize it, great. But to artificially force the joke into the reaction is sad. Same for trite, knee-jerk humor. It's never interesting.

3. Reactors who bad-mouth a scene or scenes (or even an entire film!) without considering their own ignorance of the genre, the time period and/or culture of the film/series. Triple points off if they go off at length about it, considering THEY are usually wrong.

2. Reference to HP (unless derogatory).
Those books/films have no original content. If they are your only frame of reference, you need to (intellectually) get out more.

Top reasons I downgrade series/film reactors:

1. Misuse and excessive use of the word "cute".
🤮 Expand your damned vocabulary.

The "apology" means nothing. These ghost written statements are always bad. The wording never matches the speaker, and most use the exact same wording. Very therapy-speak 101. Not in this case, but even if a speaker WAS sincere, this sort of writing guarantees they won't sound it.

How I arrived on Bluesky

I'd love to see ads for gambling made illegal or at least regulated. Many of them are clearly scams, but there's no regulation. Cig ads became HEAVILY regulated, why not these?

3 images. 1. Titular character from H.R. Pufnstuf looking sad. Tears from one eye. 2. Cha-ka from Land of the Lost crying. 3. Main character from Sigmund and the Sea Monsters mourning. Tears from eye.

Oh, I was thinking you just need to crank it up higher 😁

Unfortunately for you, there are too many people who actually think what you were mocking. Ugh, social media is such a minefield.

Glens Falls, NY to Carlisle, PA, about 5 hours.

OMG, it's SO far! </sarc>

Seriously?

Fucking hell. Is journalism even taught any more? Or even basic research skills?

You guys do know that Magyar's party is Hungary's equivalent to the US's GOP? Right? <sigh>

So often any more, it's hard to tell if it's mental decline, the ridiculous ego (expanded in 2016, due to his cult) or a combination. He's has gone through much of his adult life thinking he's untouchable. This could be just another example of that.

Yeah, it's scary when a intellectually/emotionally out-of-date, two-faced, underhanded bigot (or at best, someone who caters to such people) would be a step up.
